Dactylon is an evergreen small tree or shrub, evergreen all the year round. It can be planted in the courtyard or potted. So how is duck palm wood cultivated? What good method is there in breeding? What do you need to pay attention to when breeding duck palm wood? Please read along with me with questions^_^
Basic knowledge: the best breeding time is: potted sowing in April to May. Cutting propagation can be carried out from April to September.
The best growing soil: it needs deep, loose and fertile soil to breed duck palm wood. Generally, rotten leaf soil, peat soil, garden soil and about 1 / 4 river sand or perlite can be mixed evenly for potted cultivation. In order to make it fertile, a small amount of cake fertilizer is added as base fertilizer.
Requirements of growth humidity: the tree likes to be wet, so it needs to be watered fully and pay attention to increase the air humidity in the growing season, and often spray water on the leaf surface to keep the moist environment favorable for its growth; if the basin soil is short of water, it is easy to cause the leaves to fall, and the air is dry, and the leaf color is easy to fade and turn yellow.
The best growth temperature: the general growth temperature of dactylon is 15 ~ 25 ℃. If the temperature is lower than 5 ℃, the leaves will fall off.
The best growth light: it likes warm and humid environment, avoids hot sun, and is more resistant to shade. It is most suitable to give bright scattered light during cultivation.
Precautions for duckwood cultivation in duck palm tree farm: fertilizer: liquid fertilizer should be applied once every 1-2 weeks in the long season. During the period from May to September, 20% cake fertilizer water was applied twice a month. For the flower leaf varieties, if the nitrogen fertilizer is more and the light is weak, the plaque on the leaves will not be obvious.
Watering points: dactylon has certain drought tolerance and moisture tolerance, but it is not unlimited. It is said that its drought tolerance and moisture tolerance are compared with some flowers. It should be watered in time when it is dry and not too waterlogged. Generally, it is necessary to pour more frequently in summer because of the dry climate and high temperature in summer, which requires more water. It can be watered once a day to keep the basin soil moist. In spring and autumn, water once every 3 or 4 days. If too much water or waterlogging, easy to cause root rot.
Breeding points: select the strong seedlings with developed and complete roots and plant them in the basin before germination in late autumn or spring. Before planting, tile should be padded at the bottom of the container, and some nutrient soil should be filled in the container. After planting, the root and soil should be closely connected. The soil surface should be level with the basin edge. After the soil surface is well watered and compacted, the soil surface should be kept about 5 cm away from the basin edge as the watering nozzle. The new potted plants should be placed in half shade for a week, and then gradually transition to a sunny place for normal management.
Pruning tips: in general, there is no need to trim. If the leaves fall off, the lower branches are relatively light, and the upper part can be cut off, so as to promote the germination of new branches. The cuttings can also be replanted.
Basin soil replacement: change the basin once a year in spring. Pay attention to drainage if using plastic container. The basin soil is made up of peat soil, rotten leaf soil and perlite with a small amount of base fertilizer. It can also be potted with fine sandy soil.
Pest control: aphids damage young shoots and scale insects damage leaves during growth, which can be sprayed with 800 times of fenitrazole and 800 times of Omethoate emulsion.
Duckweed grows good-looking new leaves. The experience of breeding duckweed: 1. The temperature of breeding environment is suitable, drought and flood are suitable, and watering can be done in time.
2. The lighting time should be guaranteed.
3. If the cutting is successful, don't change the pot in a hurry, but wait for the growth to be obvious.
4. Spray water on the leaves in summer.
